Hymn to Her

Operator, well, could you help me place this call? See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray Guy, she said she knew well and sometimes hated Isn't that the way they say it goes? But let' s forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell them I' m fine and to show I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels @hymntoher

Operator, number please It's been so many years Will she remember my old voice While I fight the tears? @hymntoher

I tell myself I'm only human I know I, I said never again Temptation, feels like it never ends I'm sliding, powerless as I descend Back into my old ways again @hymntoher

The noise of the town The salt in the air It plays all around, but I no longer care And I wish I could go back to spring again Oh, such a spring @hymntoher

Im selling my time to the man who sells style That time should be mine to waste on you Ill suck off investors Ill suck off VCs Im losing my posture from time on my knees @hymntoher

Lonely astronaut, it's gonna cost But you just can't beat that view Wasted like a god, power off Wake up somewhere new Now I'm an alien to you Come hell or heaven, angels or devils I won't move And I don't care what happens after I won't quit on you @hymntoher

Reach out, touch faith Your own personal Jesus Someone to hear your prayers Someone who cares Your own personal Jesus Someone to hear your prayers Someone who's there @hymntoher

We wanted to fuck with real love Wanted it sweet, so pure and warm Never only sleepin' over We wanted to fuck like all the time And when you got back from your flight It was the first thing we did And when you say you want it all, I know you want it all Baby, take it all from me And when you drag me on the floor and the blue tejano's on You keep your eyes on me @hymntoher
